in California in June 1972. The rock legend seems to have taken a liking to the U.S.-spec vehicle, as he had it shipped back home three years later. Some Ferrari owners may be content to take their sports car out for the occasional spin, but not Richards. The musician drove the coupe extensively over the next decade frequently using it while the Stones were on tour in Europe. He’s said to have totaled over 25,000 miles in the car before parting ways with it in the mid-80s.
Richard’s Dino, chassis number 03354, is finished in a factory-correct coat of Argento Metallizzato, has a black Connolly leather interior and rides on a set of Cromadora alloy leathers wrapped in Michelin XWK tires. This car is an “E Series” example from the Dino’s final three years of production and is powered by a 2.4-liter V-6. The mill is mated to a five-speed manual transmission that sends 192 hp and 167 ft lbs of torque to the rear axle.
